Only 67.8% of Statistics is 57.3% true…
I was forced to study statistics in university. Did I enjoy it? Not really…but I just needed that credit to take other upper level courses. After graduation, I always found statistics in real life quite disturbing. Whoever needs more evidence to support some unheard claims, figures, decimal, percentage will be all over the map. The best example is our Real Estate Booming Era 2003 - 2007. Any John Smith instantly became real estate veteran by putting figures, percentage and chart in his/her press release/newsletter/blog. There is no doubt about statistics is one of the highest abused items in human civilization.
